I love designing and developing software but man, I envy blue collar people sometimes. I know their jobs are hard but working with your hands and working 9 to 5 and then live your life from 5 to 9 is awesome..

Especially considering that in Europe, I have 14 years of experience and make maybe 10k more than my blue collar friends after tax. If it was just for the work-money ratio I'd become a carpenter..

But over all... 🎶I shoulda been a cowboy 🎶

    in my naive days I thought the best thing would be regular rotation

    otherwise the office worker grows decrepit and depressed, weak, from a lack of exercise
    and the physical workers overtax their bodies, joints, and end up in physical pain due to stressful overuse

    so something like 2-3 days a week physical work (instead of a useless gym membership), and 2-3 of office work

    there was a tweet of someone saying there should be a job where you code for half the day and spend the rest of the day moving boxes

    @darksideofyay sounds a lot like a 12 hour day to me. 4h coding, 4h boxes and 4h coding overtime 😅
